The 2023 La Crema Russian River Chardonnay is a rich yet balanced cool-climate Chardonnay, showing aromas of white peach, lemon zest, and green pear with hints of toasted hazelnut and baking spice. The palate is layered with apple, lemon curd, and pineapple, complemented by creamy notes of vanilla custard and subtle oak. It is vibrant and concentrated, with well-integrated acidity that drives a long, smooth, and lingering finish.
